well I want it to look like this: [Textbox] [Browse] [Start] So you click browse, find the exe file, click ok(or something like that) and then click start I also want to make it so it saves the location of the last exe file it started, so you dont have to browse for it every time you use the program.

I have written an vb.net application, named vbapp.exe. And I would like to use vbapp.exe to shell an external .exe file and this external .exe will create a file in the folder in which the external .exe file is located.However, the external .exe file will not recognize its own folder, on the contrary, it will think that its own folder is where the vb application, vbapp.exe, is located.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a windows service that sits in the background waiting for programs to be started. When the programs start I want to be able to check a unique bit of information for each program (I believe GUIDs may provide this) to see what the program is. If the program is not allowed, I aim to provide a warning to the user and possibly close the program. The aim of the application is to identify when users are attempting to install additional software on to the computer so simply monitoring for a certain executable wouldn't work as msiexec is called for all MSI's and as I only want to stop blacklisted programs...this wouldnt work

View 9 RepliesI want to make a program where I can open a program, and my vb program starts with it. My VB program will then use a timer to count to an hour, and then close out of both programs. So i started experementing with things and this is what i came up with:Dim myprocess As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")
That opens my program fine, but I dont know how to close it from there. Also I want my vb program to start automaticaly, not hit a button and my other program shows up.
I'm a bit confused when it comes to setting the start location of a form, relative to another form.I know how to set the start location for a form, however, I have a "main" form, which is behind this form. The main form will be displaying different images, labels, ect. I need the second form to display at the bottom of the main form. The main form's resolution is 800x600, and the bottom form is 800x65. I tried to set the bottom form's location to 0,535, which WOULD make it right at the bottom of the main form, but it seems that it puts it at that location relative to the user's display resolution.So basically, I just need help with getting this form to appear at the bottom of the main form. I read a bit about "containers", but am not sure exactly if they would work for this, and if they did, how exactly I would incorporate them into my situation.

I've been programming in VB6 for years, I have decided to take the plunge into VB.net and C# 2010 but having a little problem understanding the big picture.In VB6 I could create user controls and save them as .ocx files, then use those .ocx's in other programs or on html pages. I am sure the same idea is present in VS 2010, I'm just not seeing it.Can anyone recommend a book or tutorial that will show me the big picture of all the aspects of the .net environment?
